Garage Sale Finds

I went to a few garage sales yesterday and only hit paydirt at one of them.

I love this print of a young girl trying to reach the door knocker on the door. Looks like she is carrying a basket of goodies. It's framed in a really nice gold frame and the subdued colors of the print are beautiful. It is a 24 X 14 size and cost me a dollar.

Colorful flower pots for 50 cents each that I will fill with Easter eggs and grass and set on our Easter dinner table.

This pretty plate and plate holder cost me a whopping one dollar. I'll put this item in my booth at Love's Brair Patch. So I spent $3.00 total. The other sales I went to were a bust. One was a high dollar garage sale and my bet is they didn't make that much money. They had lovely things and I saw a lot of things I would have liked but couldn't afford.

The only thing about my garage sale outing was I wasn't with my sister. When we are together it is much more fun.

About Me

I am a retired teacher from northeastern Oklahoma who enjoyed every minute of my career. I miss teaching young minds and seeing the light bulbs go on through their eyes, but I have slowly adjusted to the life of retirement. Retirement from teaching not from life.I still have lots to do and things to see and want to contribute as much as I can to those around me. I am married and the mother to two sons, two daughter-in-laws and a nana to four grandchildren. I enjoy being with family and friends, chick flicks, a good book, gardening, cooking occasionally, sweets,music,antiquing,travel and blogging. I love God and my savior, Jesus Christ and feel blessed to live in the United States of America. I've weathered storms and have learned from them. I've also had more blessings than I thought possible. I don't know what's ahead of me but with strength from the Almighty I'm ready for whatever life throws me.
